pleasure / feel in learning that your
ancestors were fellow-soldiers with mine
in the great war OF the Revolution.
This heridetary bond of amity has
caused me, at the risk of being tedious,
to make to you the foregoing family
narrative. / am also led by the same
and other feelin IS to grieve with you Mt
the death of your brave nephews who
fell in the recent war. May their loss

even grander in peace, and his life in
Lexington as president OF Washington
College showed him possessed OF traits
OF mind and heart worthy OF the study
and imitation of our young men.
THE MAN.
Duty was the keynote of his life,
while his modest humility and gentle
ness, spirit OF self.denial for the good
Of others, want OF bitterness TO the
North but devotion TO the South, his
rare social character, his firmness in
carrying out his purposes, bis domestic
life, and his love for children, were
all conspicuous. But above all he
was an humble. devoted Christian,
who took Gods word as his guide, put
his trust in Christ, and lived and died
in the tIiumphs Of the Christian faith.
He needs no monument to speak his
praise, for he "erected a monument
more lasting than bronze" in the
hearts of a loving, admiring people.
The Lee Family.

book 49, Personal "reminiscences Of
General II. J.. Lec-the following let

Lexington Valentines Incumbent
Figure" which has been pronounced
10y competent critics one OF the finest
works of art in this country.
THE RICHMOND MOVEMENT.
About the same time the ladies OF
the Hollywood Memorial Association
organized an effort to place n monu-
ment of Lee in Richmond-it being
then expected that the remains OF the
great chieftain would finally be brought
to the old capital of the Confederacy.
TIE MEMORIAL MEETING.
On the oath Of October, 1870. Cen
eIal Jubal A. Early, the senior sur
viving officer OF the Army Of Northern
Virginia residing in Virginia, issued
call for meeting Of Confederate sol
diers in Richmond to pay q proper
tribute to the memory of their chief

Palmer treasurer, and Sergeant G. Z.
Allen auditor.
There was al executive committee
located in Virginia, and chairman OF
on executive committee for each south
ern State.
COLLECTING MONEY.
This association went 10 work and
collected a good deal OF money but
there was some confusion growing out
Of the fact that several associations
were collecting for the same object, and
the collections for each were doubtless
retarded by this seeming collision.
During the administration of Gov
trnor kemper law was passed consti-
tuting the Governor, the Treasurer,
and the Auditor OF the State Board OF
Managers for the Lee-Monument As
ISOLATION. The Soldiers Association
disbanded and turned over to this
board their funds, and by the zeal and
efficiency OF the secretary, Colonel s.
Bassett French, collections were push
ed, and there was considerable addi-
ton TO the fund. An unsuccessful
effort was made to unite with the La
dies Association.
ExHIBITIos OF MODELS.
There was . competitive exhibition
OF models for the monument, and
